Snow Again?

This post is a hodge podge of all the posts I am behind on, so bear with me! We had another ice/snow storm right before Valentine's day, but this time the city was prepared! School/work was cancelled, so we were all able to enjoy the fun! The first day was nothing but ice. It was crazy! Our driveway and trees were covered in it to the point that we had our very own ice rink! It was so slippery, we were able to do a little laundry basket sledding!:)

The kids loved it! Beckett didn't quite understand why he kept falling on the driveway, so I pretty much had to carry him everywhere.

This was the ice on the trees. It was really so beautiful to look at and hear as it would clink in the wind.

Every rail of our fence was covered with icicles.

Beckett thought they were delicious!

That night, the snow came! We woke up to the perfect wet snowball and snowman making snow! Jackson was up at 7 and we were out the door by 7:30 am!

Snowball fight!

Next on our list....build Olaf from the movie Frozen.

Jackson and Beckett did a great job rolling the snowball while I sculpted.

And here he is :)

It was a good thing we came out as early as we did because by the afternoon, the snow was gone.

At the end of the week came Valentine's day! Jackson did such a great job filling out all of his Valentine'cards forhi

Jackson did such a great job filling out all of his friend's names and signing them. He picked out Hello Kitty with a bracelet for the girls and Star Wars with a light saber for the boys.

Beckett and candy...oh how they love eachother :)

Just what he wanted! Tenkai Knights!

And of course, Pete the Cat :)

Beckett also got some legos and books, but as soon as he saw the candy, that was all he cared about!

I put this picture in because it is amazing what a little water will do to this kids hair! Every night after his bath, it is super curly and then after he lays on it all night, it straightens. I decided to start wetting it in the am, and this is the end result!

After Valentine's day, we headed into winter break. Since we changed our minds about going on a ski trip with friends, we decided to make the most of our time at home and head to the circus! I think this is the 3rd time Jackson has been to the circus, and he loves it every time!

Beckett was also mezmerized. I don't think he moved! The snow cones, popcorn, and cotton candy also helped with that :)

Jackson and his snow cone

We couldn't leave without a souvenir! Jackson picked out a laser gun.

Beckett picked out a motorcycle.

Jackson and I also went on a date to see the Lego Movie in 3D. This is the first 3D movie we have see and it was great! Jackson loved every minute!

The weather here has been crazy with 60-70 degree days in between 40 degree days, so we have made the most of every warm day with lots of parks and playing outside! It is so nice to have a big driveway for the kids to play on!

Beckett decided to give Jackson a little push. Jackson was yelling the entire time and looked like a gladiator.

My funny goobs. He came running out after us with this helmet and his sword. You can tell he has an older brother!

And this is what happens when you leave boys at their own devices for 5 minutes. They find the mud! On another note, we are so proud of Jackson! He has learned to ride his bike without training wheels. We tried one day and the next day he was zipping around like a pro! The following day he was building ramps! We have started our spring sports and Jackson is very busy with tball and soccer. We usually play soccer at the church, but this year we decided to try something new. We joined SSA and daddy is his coach! We ended up playing him up an age, so he could play with some of his friends. I was a little nervous, but his first game, he scored 3 goals! I was so proud of him!!
